Food+ Memories

I have learned as I am growing up that aduts, or, well, people in general have a habit or remembering certain things about people. Ideas, actions, words that stand out to them, often repetitive. I believe that as I am growing older, I am doing that as well. Especially with my grandparents. Which I really wish I wasn't. Because I wish I could remember everything about them forever, and let my great grandchildren experience my grandparents, because they mean so much to me. But you, as well as I know that people don't last forever, n matter how much we wish they could. 'They will live on through memory', people often say at funerals and on headstones. But which memories will stand out?
My grandma is currently 86. "Its awful to get old, Carissa. Don't ever get old." She'll tell me, followed by some chore or complaining about something wrong with her. One of the problems she complains about alot is that she cannot taste anything anymore. So she drinks Mt. Dew Livewire. A drink probably mroe intended for kids looking for an energy rush, but i swear that this is the only drink she drinks other than water with her pills at night. I think this carbonated orange drink is what actually keeps my grandma pumping. And my grandfather, unique as well, he has hisown little traits and quirks. Such as buying a bulk of literally everything in the house. Come to my house at any given moment and I swear we will not be out of Mt. Dew. We haven't ran out since 2004, or at least when the soda came out. So feel free to come have some.

Another food item that reminds me of my grandparents would be peanut butter and pickle sanwhiches. It's really disgusting, don't ever try it. They usually have it with their soda too. And it is made with breaad
